Pine nut harvest. Sound on. Our trees are too tall and bamboo pole not long enough to knock the cones down from the ground. Using a simple pole belt harness to establish a safe working position, then knocking cones down from there works a treat. Pinus pine seeds are 32% protein, and 45% fat, and are the most energy dense food outside of animal fats! Each little nut still has to be shelled. Yet to get a mechanical aid for this. At least some are hand shelled at commercial scale in China. No wonder they cost a bit per kg. A very hardy and reliable unirrigated tree crop, making super high quality food, that has a lot to offer large areas of Australia. #keepingupwiththecockatoos #treeclimbing #wackingthenuts #pinuspinea #pinuspinea🌳 #treecrops #obtainayield #silviculture #cultureoftrees #pinenuts #treenuts

From no yolk to two, with different shapes and shell colour and pattern for different birds. Our girls' production varies with the seasons but we always have enough, and the birds live a free roaming, foraging and protected life. #eggs #eggsfromthefarm #chooks #backyardchickens #homesteadchickens #sizematters #naturalchickenkeeping
Tbt to 2017 when Mbaba and Yoda were these wiggly little newborn bundles of joy. Now they're strong minded and very vocal young ladies well into their first pregnancies, fed exclusively off the farm, and doing a lot of mowing and fertilising for us. #goat #goathusbandry #naturalhusbandry #saanen #happyanimals #mbaba #growingupfast #getter #atthagetter
